ORIGIN

This 2006 BMW M3 coupe is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a replacement six-speed manual transmission and finished in a blue vinyl wrap over a cinnamon leather interior. Modifications include a carbon fiber hood, trunk lid, and other trim as well as a Mishimoto radiator and oil cooler, KW coilovers, an Evolve intake, a Borla exhaust system, an ECU tune, and more. The seller acquired the car in July 2017 and has driven approximately 12k of its 120k indicated miles since. This E46 M3 is supplied with a clean AutoCheck report and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.

The body was finished in Carbon Black Metallic from the factory and has been covered in a matte blue vinyl wrap. Carbon fiber parts include a hood and trunk lid from VIS Racing, hood vents, kidney and fender grilles, and winglets in the aftermarket CSL-style front bumper cover. A Seibon carbon fiber rear diffuser has also been fitted, and the headlights feature aftermarket angel-eye halos and carbon fiber inlays.

Competition-style 18″ wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in size 255/40 out back and 225/45 up front. Upgraded brake pads and rotors have reportedly been fitted. Chips are noted in the front end, and photos show peeling on the hood vents.

The interior features cinnamon leather (N5ZM) seats and door panel inserts as well as black plastics and carpeting. Alcantara has been added to the armrest and shift lever boot. Options include a sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and Park Distance Control. An aftermarket stereo with a CD player, navigation, and a backup camera display has been added.

An aftermarket flat-bottom steering wheel rests ahead of gray-faced instrumentation including a 185-mph speedometer. The digital odometer reads just under 120k miles, approximately 12k of which have been added by the seller over the last two years.

The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six was factory rated at 333 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission installed under previous ownership to replace the factory SMG. The seller states that a lightweight clutch has been installed along with the following items:

Mishimoto radiator, oil cooler, and fan kit

Carbon fiber valve cover

Evolve carbon fiber intake plenum and airbox with ECU remap

Aftermarket strut bar

Borla exhaust system

The seller states that the suspension has been modified with KW Clubsport coilovers, an aftermarket sway bar kit, adjustable camber arms, and Powerflex bushings. The seller reports that the previous owner used the car for track days, and the rear subframe has reportedly been reinforced.

The April 2019 AutoCheck report shows no accidents or other damage with five owners in Massachusetts, Florida and South Carolina through July 2018. An open recall for the driver’s airbag is listed. The video below shows an exterior tour of the car with the engine running.
